Bodies in neutral position, eyes on a focal point. • Stand in neutral for 1 min. • Distraction Options: teacher walks around, student walks around, student makes faces, student makes sounds • Remind to “talk back to your brain”. “If your x is moving, you are not the boss of your brain. Become the boss!” THE CONCENTRATION CIRCLE

  5. INCLUSIVE GROUPINGS: everyone CAN get in groups. If anyone is not in a group, everyone goes to the Observation deck. Ex.: By the time I count to 6, form a group that has: more than 2, less than 4, at least 1 boy, someone wearing the color black, etc.. • EXCLUSIVE GROUPINGS: everyone CANNOT get in groups. End with most in the Observation Deck and 1-2 students on the playing field. Ex.: By the time I count to 6, form a group that has: only 2, only one person born in May, an odd number, only 1 girl, etc.. • OBSERVATION DECK REFLECTION: What happened? Why were we not successful? What’s going to change when we try again? COOPERATION CHALLENGE
